What mileage does the Exter deliver?
The Exter claims around 19.4 kmpl for the petrol manual and about 27 km/kg for the CNG version. City figures of 15–17 kmpl for the petrol are realistic.
Has the Exter been crash-tested?

What are the main rivals of the Exter?

Which Exter variant makes the most sense?
The Exter SX hits the sweet spot with the sunroof, touchscreen and alloy wheels. If you want the dashcam and connected tech, stretch to the SX (O) Connect; CNG buyers should pick the S CNG dual-cylinder variant.
